This was said by an undisclosed player, who recently played against the Celtics. </p><blockquote>“Tatum and Brown can’t be your superstars,” the anonymous player said. “They only do things to help their game. They don’t get anyone else easy shots. All they know how to do is score. They don’t turn down tough shots to get a guy an easy shot. So teams are onto them.”</blockquote><p>The stats don’t agree with this statement as both Celtics All-Stars increased their assist numbers this season. Of course, numbers need to be taken into context. Not every assist is made equally. Some are the result of precise ball movement and get players actively involved while others just happen because a player was double-teamed and had nowhere to go. </p><p>Tatum and Brown are not the designated playmakers of the squad, but with Celtics point guards Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-marcus-smart-leg-injury-diagnosis-revealed/">missing significant amounts of time</a> due to injuries it has looked like that occasionally. </p><p>The Celtics currently have a 15-17 record, which places them in the ninth spot in the Eastern Conference. They have dropped their last three games. Head coach Brad Stevens will have to figure something out soon to get the C’s working again. The team may be buyers at the trade deadline, possibly at the center position with general manager Danny Ainge ready at the wings to fleece someone. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Cs lost another game on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks as they finish their road trip 0-3.</p><p>Brown is clearly unhappy with his team’s current slump and firmly believes that Boston can do so much more.</p><blockquote>“As long as you got that Celtics jersey on, you should never be comfortable with losing,” Jaylen  Brown said after the Celtics’ 127-112 loss in Atlanta via <a href="https://twitter.com/ASherrodblakely/status/1364782360772939778">A. Sherrod Blakely of Bleacher Report</a>). “We’ve had the opportunities (to win) and we haven’t…I can tell the mental focus, it’s not there. It’s not enough. I don’t know. We have to be better going from game to game; have the right mentality. It’s tough but we have to do it.”</blockquote><p>It clear that Brown and the Celtics haven’t been sage-ing enough as of late to get the bad vibes out. For the first-time All-Star, their last three games have definitely been very winnable; unfortunately, the effort hasn’t been there.</p><p>They Celtics were up as much as 24 points against the New Orleans Pelicans last Sunday but still lost 120-115 in OT. This tough defeat was followed by another one, as Luka Doncic hit back-to-back threes in the dying seconds of Boston’s visit to the Dallas Mavericks to hand them a 110-107 heartbreaker. On Wednesday, they were victims to a red-hot shooting evening from Danilo Gallinari after the 32-year-old vet torched Boston with a career-high 10 threes en route to a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/scores/nba/boxscore/boston-celtics-atlanta-hawks-2-25-2021/718f1287-8b76-4b92-9904-00ff27c0bd35" rel="noopener">blowout loss</a>.</p><p>Almost halfway through the season, the Celtics have looked quite different from last season’s squad that was two games away from booking a trip to the NBA Finals. They’re now hanging on for dear life at the East’s eighth spot with a 15-17 record, with the New York Knicks and the Charlotte Hornets breathing down their neck.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But they aren’t too excited about this milestone given their team’s subpar win-loss record.</p><p>For the second time in his young career, Tatum was selected as an All-Star this season. It’s a monumental milestone for any NBA player. But the forward himself isn’t too happy with it given the Celtics’ 19-13 record.</p><p>It’s a decent win-loss record, but Tatum is not satisfied being third in the Eastern Conference. After all, this is the first time since the 2014-15 season that the Celtics have fallen below .500.</p><blockquote>“It’s like damn, look at our record, it’s hard to really focus on (the All-Star Game), when we’re not where we want to be as a team. It’s an honor to be an All-Star but we’re used to winning games and being at the top of the East,” Tatum said, per <a href="https://twitter.com/GwashburnGlobe/status/1364429996970840069">Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe</a>.</blockquote><p>The same sentiment was echoed by Brown who was, for the first time in his career, was named an All-Star. Other players would cry if they achieved such a dream. But Boston’s 5th-year man isn’t in a festive mood.</p><blockquote>“I don’t feel much like an all-star,” Brown said per <a href="https://twitter.com/ASherrodblakely/status/1364427262217568258">A. Sherod Blakely</a>.</blockquote><p>Tatum and Brown’s comments reveal a lot about their mindset to right the ship for the Celtics this season. To be named an All-Star is the goal of many players. But these individual accolades don’t mean much to both players anymore. What’s important to them is the team racks up the victories. The more wins they have, then the better chance they have at finally winning that title.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the 24-year-old fell just short of his first-ever NBA All-Star Game start.</p><p>Instead, former Celtics teammate Kyrie Irving, now with the Brooklyn Nets, is starting ahead of Brown. It should be noted that Brown will very likely still make the All-Star Game in his home state of Georgia as a reserve.</p><p>Here’s a look at the official vote results, which depict how Irving edged out Brown as a starter (via <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffZillgitt/status/1362558631972118528">Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY Sports</a>):</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Here’s the order of voting from fans 50%), players (25%) and media (25%) for NBA All-Star starters: <a href="https://t.co/rfsIO35IA8" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/rfsIO35IA8</a></p><p>— Jeff Zillgitt (@JeffZillgitt) <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffZillgitt/status/1362558631972118528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">February 19, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Full voting breakdown for the Eastern Conference All-Stars: <a href="https://t.co/xqSeodgCG9" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/xqSeodgCG9</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1362558204907978752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">February 19, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>The interesting thing to note here is that while Irving finished above Brown in both the fan and player votes, it was actually the Celtics young stud who earned the nod of the media over Kyrie. Brown ranked second in the media vote—just a notch below Bradley Beal, who was unanimously voted first—while Irving ranked fourth.</p><p>In spite of the fact that he was virtually crucified by the media for forcing his way out of the Houston Rockets, James Harden, who is now Kyrie’s teammate with the Nets, still got more media votes than Irving did.</p><p>Kyrie himself is not exactly a darling of the media. He’s had a few issues with the press throughout his career, and his unwillingness to speak to the media during the offseason (it resulted in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kyrie-irving-brooklyn-get-zapped-with-25000-fine-over-not-speaking-media/">hefty fine</a> for him, too) likely played a role in the voting.</p><p>As for Boston fans, the fact that it was none other than Irving, himself a former Celtic (and one that did not exactly leave the best of marks with the franchise) who ousted Brown out of the starting five adds a bit of insult to injury.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

What defines an act of terrorism ? What’s more un-American than storming the capital

Taking a knee is disrespectful to America but storming the capital is not

Face surveillance is dangerous when it works, and when it doesn’t. Often, technology misidentifies Black and brown people. We need regulation of this tech now! Take a stand @speakerdeleo @KarenSpilka pass strong face surveillance regs in the police reform bill. @MassGovernor

Massachusetts has a historic opportunity to pass meaningful police reforms that limit the use of racist surveillance. @SpeakerDeLeo @KarenSpilka @massgovernor. Take a stand today and send email in support of racial justice and police accountability
